Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 248 - 247: She’s Very Clever

"What’s going on?"

Julian Ford’s hoarse voice carried a thick chill, "Big brother, since childhood, Meredith Ford has always been the closest to her fourth brother. Now, with the possibility of a permanent injury to her left hand, given her pampered nature, she should be sticking by his side constantly, so why would she spend time visiting Clement Xavier?"

Maxim Ford’s expression turned serious upon hearing this, and he pulled the car over to the side.

Meeting his brother’s eyes, he instantly understood his meaning.

The two of them might not understand Meredith entirely, but they knew her well enough.

Meredith has a mental disorder. Just like Julian said, how could Meredith leave her fourth brother at a time like this?

He checked the time, frowning, "Didn’t you hear she went to the film set today?"

Julian’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "I spent the whole morning in my room. It wasn’t until our sister returned to the set that I went out to see her and came over for this appointment."

"So, Meredith didn’t call you?" The usual calm on Maxim’s face was now just coldness.

As he took out his phone, he added, "Or was your phone off?"

"No."

Julian’s eyes narrowed coldly. Because it wasn’t off, Meredith must have had a motive. He would never interpret her intentions toward their sister as benign.

She just happened to go to the "Legend of the Fox Spirit" set at this critical moment.

Claiming she went to see Clement Xavier was just a cover.

The whole world knows Aiden Shaw got injured saving Tiana Thorne. Now, with the possibility of permanent damage, Meredith must be heartbroken.

Moreover, the main culprit, Celine Steel, is already in jail, but Tiana Thorne is still perfectly fine at the set.

He suspected Meredith most likely went to see Tiana.

Julian’s voice had a tint of hostility, "Call now, make Meredith come back immediately, do not let her go to the ’Legend of the Fox Spirit’ set again."

Before he even finished speaking, Maxim had already dialed the number, "Mm-hmm."

"Meredith..." Julian murmured, crossing his legs, the frosty look already spreading in his phoenix eyes.

Hopefully, it wasn’t as he and his brother guessed.

If Meredith dared to do anything to his sister...

Thinking of this, Maxim’s hands clenched into fists, veins pulsing on the back of his hands, as if imagining Meredith right in front of him, ready to smash her with a punch.

From a young age, Meredith was deeply loved by her parents and grandmother.

But if she touched his sister, even if everyone else shielded her, he would not show any mercy.

Beep—

Beep—

Beep—

"The number you dialed is currently busy, please try again later."

Julian frowned, "The line is busy..."

"Try calling again with your phone; I’ll have Jack Sterling check her current whereabouts," Maxim said, flipping through his call logs and dialing again.

"President Ford."

"Check Miss Ford’s current location and send it to me immediately."

"Yes."

After hanging up, Maxim turned to his younger brother.

Julian put on speaker, and the prompt tone went from busy to turned off.

Maxim’s breathing became heavier, "Meredith has a compulsive emotional disorder. I didn’t tell her Tiana is our sister, she might really do something bad to Tiana."

Julian chuckled coldly, "Even if you told her, she’d still do it. Call our sister, warn her to be careful. She’s smart, at least until I get back, she can protect herself."

Maxim nodded and then called Tiana Thorne.

However, on the other end, a very official female voice rang out, "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy, please try again later."

"Back to the set," Maxim said sternly.

"Okay." Sweat began to bead in Julian’s palms.

He remembered.

Once, a maid tried to climb into his fourth brother’s bed, drugging him.

When Meredith found out, she tied the maid up in the middle of the night, and the maid’s face and hands were ruined by Meredith.

In the end, the maid couldn’t take it and drowned herself, faking her death to look like Meredith pushed her into the river, clutching Meredith’s favorite necklace in her hand.

But as luck would have it, Meredith had a cold that day, and he accompanied her to the hospital.

The maid’s death, though self-inflicted, had some ties to the Ford family. Their mother compensated the maid’s family, and the matter was settled.

However, Meredith’s illness worsened due to the maid’s death. She was once rescued from a suicide attempt, and their mother had no choice but to send her abroad for treatment.

Later, she went to university abroad to study medicine, and only returned after her condition improved.

Yet, having seen too many similar cases in the entertainment industry, he knew these personalities weren’t easily fixed.

So, Meredith was essentially a dangerous woman.

He worried Tiana might become the next maid...

The film set.

Tiana Thorne answered the call, but hearing no sound, she didn’t hang up, cautiously calling out, "Zephyr? Did you call by mistake?"

"Come pick me up, would you..."

His voice sounded somewhat vague and unclear.

Tiana exchanged a glance with May Sloane, then asked softly, "Zephyr, are you drunk?"

"Hmmm... No." His voice was somewhat heavy, as if struck by something, yet also unclear, as if drunk.

Even May felt a pang of sympathy.

"Then send me your location," Tiana said.

"Mm..."

Beep beep beep—

The call ended.

Then, a location was sent via WeChat.

Tiana didn’t touch her phone. After a long moment of reflection, the screen had already gone dark.

She squinted her eyes in confusion, murmuring, "Is Clement Xavier planning to personally take up the ’Honey CP’ banner?"

’Honey CP’ certainly had a vivid mental image.

Suddenly, May felt as if she had swallowed something hot and sweet, "Wow! Is it this thrilling?"

She temporarily decided to set aside the Aiden-Tiana relationship, knowing that even if the infamous fourth master might not know her thoughts, he wouldn’t kill her.

"Is it thrilling?"

"Yes." Tiana inexplicably remembered when Aiden Shaw came charging to the set last time, finally asking her to hype the ’Honey CP’.

Yesterday, the incident with Celine had thrown everything out of her mind for a moment.

Inadvertently, Tiana recalled Aiden Shaw taking her first kiss with such indifference.

Her eyes gradually filled with mischief, licking her lips, "Do you want to give ’Honey CP’ fans a little benefit?"

"I do!" More than anything, she wanted to see the expression on Aiden’s face after getting this token of appreciation.

"Come, help this lady with her clothes," Tiana smirked.

"Alright~"

Tiana looked at herself in the full-length mirror.

She sighed softly.

Pale and ill-looking, truly unsightly.

Yet, May absolutely loved her look in that moment, eyes full of admiration and affection.

Even when she appeared slightly unwell, it did nothing to diminish Tiana’s innate charisma and allure, especially her lips, which gave a subtle upturned, seductive appearance even when lightly pursed.

"Tiana, you’re stunning."

"Am I pretty?" Tiana softly curved her lips.

"Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm." May nodded rapidly, as if her head were pounding garlic.

Tiana’s eyes darkened; of course, her agreement wasn’t just about picking up Clement Xavier.
